Belgium: Leuven

After the Oasis concert at Brussels, Han & I took the train to Leuven, which is another town about 1 hour from Brussels. Han's law friend, Alex, has kindly offered us accomodation at his studio room. :)

Leuven may be a small university town but it sure is 'happening'. We were there around 1am and the streets were filled with young people. No, not that sort of drunk, loud hooligans but just young students enjoying themselves to the dance music at the bars down the street.



Leuven's town hall totally stunned me when I chanced upon it. I was blown over by the intricate carvings on the statues covering the building from the bottom to the top

This is the statue of the eternal student 'pouring science into his head'

After a good night's rest at Alex's studio, we wanted to go explore the rest of the Leuven the next morning but apparently there wasn't exactly much. Except probably the stella artois brewery. After all, stella artois is belgian beer brewed right here in Leuven. But the tourist info lady advised us agst it, so we headed to Antwerp city
